Abena Osei-Asare, the deputy finance minister, has dragged Parliament through the dirt over the government's alleged overborrowing.

Osei-Asare, the MP for Atiwa East who also spoke on the GTV Breakfast Show, argued that her government had not taken on too much debt.

She claimed, "We have not exceeded the financing that Parliament has approved for us.

According to her, the budget and appropriation are the guidelines for government expenditure and the government has always managed to spend within the deficit financing.

Meanwhile, Ghanaians continue to mount pressure on the government to cut down its size to reduce expenditure and save money for other developmental projects.
